The Sommerro opened its doors in Oslo on 1 September, and has immediately established itself as a benchmark for lifestyle and top-of-the-range hotels. This new establishment from the Nordic Hotels group revisits <strong>the former Oslo Lysverker head office<\/strong>the Norwegian capital's main electricity company. An Art Deco building dating from the 1930s, converted into a multi-purpose venue with rooms, of course, with <strong>231 rooms<\/strong> divided into six categories, from Loft rooms to Junior Suites and Heritage Suites, plus 56 residential flats. But the hotel also has<strong> seven restaurants and bars, a theatre, and plenty of space for meetings and events<\/strong>Not to mention a rooftop swimming pool, the first in the city to be open all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/2022-nouveaux-hotels-europe-20220126.html\/\" data-id=\"119867\">New hotels expected in Europe in 2022<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p>\"\u00a0<em>Sommerro is <strong>more than a hotel<\/strong><\/em>\" said Petter A.

The Sommerro may not have the contemporary architecture of this hotel on the banks of the Oslo fjord, but it shares with it<strong> a resolutely arty spirit<\/strong>. No doubt the tastes of its owner Petter Stordalen, a billionaire and major collector, have something to do with it. While The Thief benefits from a partnership with its neighbour, the Astrup Fearnley Museum, to exhibit some of its works on a rotating basis in addition to its permanent collection, the Sommerro has established itself as another true art gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sommerro-suite.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sommerro-suite.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-130141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sommerro-suite.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sommerro-suite-300x200-derived.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>One of the Sommerro's Junior Suites \u00a9 Francisco Nogueira<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A renowned critic and former director of Oslo's National Museum, Sune Nordgren has organised a vast collection for the hotel, focusing on the emerging local scene, as well as on<strong>original works by Per Krohg<\/strong>This collection features works by the leading artist of the 1930s, including a giant mural on display in the lobby. To discover this collection, art-loving business travellers can take advantage of guided tours led by local museum curators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In line with its surroundings, the creative district of Frogner, the Sommerro aims to appeal to both residents and local customers through a range of innovative products and services. <strong>cultural programme<\/strong> to liven up its social spaces. Events organised by Maren Selvaag, a resident jazz musician and composer, will see magician Jon Ensor perform in September in the hotel's theatre, the Lysverker Scene.

As well as its 90-seat theatre - which can accommodate 200 people standing - this intimate auditorium can host VIP presentations. In addition to these two offers,<strong> the Sommerro has eight meeting rooms<\/strong>All located on the third floor and each reflecting the building's historic heritage. All in all, a range of venues suitable for corporate events of varying formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Krohgsalen room, decorated with a mural inspired by the artist Per Krohg, can accommodate up to 180 people, while the Direkt\u00f8rkontoret room, housed in the former office of Oslo CEO Lysverker, can host board meetings of around fifteen people in a hushed atmosphere. While the hotel has four other 29 m2 boardrooms, the library also lends itself to <strong>intimate encounters<\/strong> for around thirty people. As for the elegant caf\u00e9 To S\u00f8stre, apart from offering chic afternoon teas, it can host social events for up to a hundred people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sommerro-to-sostre.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sommerro-to-sostre.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-130137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sommerro-to-sostre.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sommerro-to-sostre-300x200-derived.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>To S\u00f8stre, one of the venues available for corporate events.

On the relaxation front, Sommerro will be adding to its urban retreat offering with the opening of a Norwegian-style public bath in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sommerro is as committed to CSR as it should be in Northern Europe - for example, it is 100 % powered by renewable energy - but it has yet to reveal all its secrets.<strong> We'll have to wait until March 2023 to discover his Villa Inkognito<\/strong>. Adjacent to the hotel, and with its own private entrance, this upmarket retreat is housed in a former private residence dating back to 1870. This intimate setting will house 11 suites, several lounges, a bar and an open kitchen, as well as a fitness centre in the basement and an outdoor area. It's a villa that will no doubt further enhance the hotel's offering for VIP corporate events.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not only rooms, but also seven restaurants and bars, a
